People who aren't in our situation DON"T understand

Almost all of my friends who don't know what it's like to be in this position tell me that it's my choice. The fact that I'm having problems with my SD3 is my fault. That if I don't want to deal with her or being a Step-mom then I should break up with my boyfriend. They don't understand that while I do love my SD3, I don't always like her. And sometimes I need a break from her. I work with kids and I come home to a kid. While I choose to live with her and her dad, she isn't mine and I don't think that asking for sometime with my boyfriend without her around is being mean.

So tired and so frustrated

I'm at a loss. I don't even know what to do anymore. My sd3 throws a fit anytime something doesn't go her way. She can't get her shoes on she screams. Her dad won't wake up in the morning to get her cereal she screams. She can't have candy she screams. I'm not over exaggerating it's true. Some say that when she screams for cereal I should get up and get it for her, well I don't because I don't get to sleep much. Maybe six hours a night if i'm lucky between working and going to school. And with her being her and her dad never waking up I get maybe 4 hours, 5 if I'm really lucky.

My step-daughter is a NIGHTMARE!!!

I've been dating my bf for over a year now. And about 3 months ago his 3 year daughter came to live with us because her BM has a lot of issues. My bf left his daughter with his grandparents for 8 months while he came here to look for a new job, and to better his life. After a long battle with court he got custody of her, well she still stayed with her grandparents, because she needed to see her mom for 2 weeks and her dad for 2 weeks, since her mom lives 8 hours away, he thought this was best. When her mom had issues she came to live with us in our apartment.
